Small Style: paper doll (and a giveaway!)

Enchanted truth be told, I wish I had Ivy's wardrobe. The bohemian princess girly-girl. And certainly her style is a reflection of my own whimsy. I do buy all her clothes. But she is the puller-outer of the drawers and the putter-together of every outfit, head to toe, and I have early on made sure to never cringe or show disapproval but instead delight at her imagination.

WIN! Gilt has provided me with $100 gift credit to giveaway. Like Gilt Children on Facebook (and they'd also love for you to post a summer tip on their wall. ) Come back here and leave a comment on this post to be entered to win. (1 comment on this post is really all that is required for entry so no worries if you don't "do Facebook.")

Oh the simply letting Sugar pull things out of the drawers and closets and put them on thing... I've got to get better at that! We're getting there but Momma needs to lighten up a little more in this department! Thanks for the encouraging nudge :)

I must admit that my girl is wearing what I pick but at just 1 year (and maybe 6 days?) she hasn't yet expressed her opinion. I know I was an 'interesting dresser' before age two so I am prepared that I will turn the reins over to her soon, but for now I kind of like getting to dress her up...her wardrobe is way better then mine thanks to many generous friends!

Blessed, me too. My personality is one that likes matching and I'm having a hard time letting that go. I tend to pull out the top and bottoms and then let my girl pick her shoes/socks. Then she'll add a jacket, hat and a bag. It's a start. :)

When Ivy is 5, you are going to be so glad you have always let her pick out her own clothes. Amelia really has the best sense of style because I have always (out of pure laziness) let her pick out her own clothes. I love it.

Ivy has such a wonderful sense of style. It's so cool of you to let her chose her own outfits. Do you make purchasing decisions with that in mind (i.e. everything in non-clashing colours?) I have friends who do that, but it seems like so much work.Nice to hear that the weather is good in the mid-west. Looking forward to being back.Oh, and this is me entering the contest!
